Her only choice is to fight magic with magic. His only choice is to summon his ancient gift. If they fail, they lose everything.
Single mom Andie McCraig couldn’t buy a spell if it was free. It’s bad enough she’s the only witch in the family whose potions turn to vinegar. When her son courts danger by flaunting his emerging Draiocht gift, she has no other choice to protect him: fight magic with magic.
But she can’t do this alone. She comes home to Baga Shores to find a mentor to help her boy understand magic is not a game. Nowhere on her list of candidates is Brett Austin, a roguish Draio with a past—and an unforgettable smile.
Brett, who minored in business and majored in beach, renounced his gift after he couldn’t prevent a good friend’s death. Since then, he’s cultivated a solitary life into an art form. He’s nobody’s role model and intends to stay that way. Yet the quiet boy charms him—and Brett’s grown-up childhood friend Andie is too irresistible to ignore.Although the child’s future is the only thing they have in common, everyone but Andie and Brett thinks they are a perfect match. But the more they are together, the more another kind of magic works its spell over them.
When a frightening prediction comes true, the boy’s life and their chance at love are on the line. How far can Brett and Andie trust each other to summon their ancestral gifts to save the child? If they fail, they could lose everything they hold dear.
BEWITCHING ANDIE is the first book in the Baga Shores Romance Series and is perfect for fans of feel-good, sweet romance stories, lovable magical characters, and enchanting small towns.

Andarta (Andie) McCraig has her hands full with her seven-year-old son, Sam who can’t speak and who has started flaunting his Draiocht gift of magic. Making matters worse Andie is divorced since her husband could not accept his son’s gift and left. School became out of the question when at the last school he attended he lifted the principal chair and all up in the air and dropped him back down with a bang.
Andie’s only hope is to return to Baga Shores and her great-grandmother Mimi. Sam needs a mentor to help him control his magic and Andie is hopeful that he will forget magic altogether. Andie is a Draiocht with absolutely no ability to perform magic so she isn’t the right one for Sam. Arriving at Mimi’s house she sees a childhood friend of her brother Jason, Brett Austin also a Draio but now the owner of the Dockside Grille. Mimi believes he is the mentor Sam needs but Brett has put his Draiocht abilities in mothballs and refuses to let the gift out.
Andie’s grandmother tries to convince her to have Brett mentor Sam but she always meets with Andie’s absolute refusal. Making things more complicated is the appearance of Andie’s mother a woman who was gone more than she was around, always finding someone or something more interesting than her children so Mimi was their savior. Now she has the two women in her life trying to force Brett on her so she finally decides that Sam should attend Rosemont, a school for magical children and who teach the children how to control and use their gifts.
Brett and Andie begin to realize that their feelings are way more than those of friends proving that her grandmother and mother had it right all along. Sam is just adorable, well adorable to me I don’t have to put up with his shenanigans and trying to explain away what he does. Mimi was wonderful and quite funny, I loved it when she claimed she now knows how to bake since she learned how to open the tube they come in, she just doesn’t know how to work the oven.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves amazing characters, romance, magic and a little seven-year-old who doesn’t care who he shocks with his magic.
